TreeWell® System

The TreeWell® System is a patented Engineered_Phytoremediation℠ system that manipulates vegetation and bio-chemical materials to cost effectively:

  • Treat contaminated soil and groundwater to depths of 30 feet (or more)
  • Effect plume migration by hydraulically controlling groundwater at depths of 30 feet (or more)
  • Treat specific horizons of soil and groundwater
  • Treat DNAPL and similar contaminates by combining remedial strategies such as adding EZVI to the TreeWell® System

Unlike phytoremediation systems that rely on the vagaries of natural root development and the associated limitations on qualifying the remedial effect of these non-engineered systems, the TreeWell® System provides an engineered approach to effect a remedial impact by promoting aggressive root development to the targeted horizon. Controlling the root system in this manner accelerates the remedial attributes of the vegetative system, and allows substantially improved ability to quantify results.

For example, when calculating water use, nearly 100% of the water used by the TreeWell® system can be assumed to be derived from the targeted horizon, where as natural phytoremediation systems drive a significant portion of the water used from rainfall or sources other than the area of remedial interest (depending on local climate).
